The first blog!

Its been a busy year so far, I cannot belive its June!. We had baby Joanna Jan 21th so she is just over 4 months old now.  She is such a happy baby always smilling, especially at her big brother Joseph who is always entertaining her.  We have to drag him off of her because he is always giving her kisses and hugs.

We kicked off our long list of summer trips with a stay at Black Butte Ranch over east.  It was my birthday present from mom and dad.  Joseph had so much fun he got to feed horses and chipmunks and when he wasnt feeding them he was collecting grass and food for them.  We went to the Old Mill Disrict in bend and watched them fill up a hot air balloon at night which was so beautiful.  Joseph now wants a "big balloon"  I told him to tell Papa thats what he wanted for Christmas :).

Our next trip will be to Nashville this coming Friday through Tuesday.  Mom won a trip to Fan Fare for two and asked me to come along.  We are going to go honky tonkin and see all of the sites.  I can hardly wait!.  Mike will be staying home with the kids, bless his heart but lots of people have offered to babysit for him so he may be on vacation himself.
